Take a deep breath, take a walk, cool off, plot a bit, and serve
again.
When your serve is your biggest weapon and you can't even win half of
your 1st serve points, it is gonna be a long day and a short match.

Ah, the defensive genius of Daniela Hantuchova at work, eh?
Bigger reach on returns and flatter hitting work for you? Zheng is tiny
in comparison and that definitely can be a handicap on returns.

Yeah, but Zheng is speddy and _all_ over the court, especially
compared to Hantuchova.
Maybe Zheng just tired her out.
That match was 3 days ago and can't be brought into the equation. The
previous round against Scheepers was an hour and a half. Not a big deal.
In fact, Hantuchova had a 2 hour plus previous round against Date-Krumm.
Whatever it was, Amanmuradova won just 3 of 15 points on her serve in
the 2nd set. Ouch!

"Ouch" indeed.
Hard to win like that, unless you're Dementieva, and she's retired.

Don't tell that to Max.
